I have been a fan pf PewDiePie for about 4 years now. I used to watch his videos daily, not so much anymore but I still enjoy them from time to time. He is a funny guy who entertained me with his videos in a time I needed it the most.
Whenever there were bad headlines about him in the news, I stood by him, saw the misunderstanding on the medias behalf and continued to admire him. But now that I saw his recent video I am really disappointed.
As you know, The US has been affected by a lot of natural diasters and catastrophes in the last few weeks. Many people have spoken out in support of those struggling and those in need.
Among others also celebreties. Which I believe is a good thing since they can reach a lot of people by doing so. Of course one thing that has also been spoken about is Trumps ongoing delegitimization of global warming and climate change. Thought no one said that there was a connection between Trump beeing President and these disasters man people understood it as that. Of course this was met by a lot of backlash a lot of people, including PewDiePie.
I get what he is trying to say in his video. He thinks it’s disgusting to exploit these tragedies to promote ones political agendas. While I can understand his point of view I do not agree with this per se. I understand that these peoples misery is more important and no one questions that. The thing is, Global warming is a constant threat that needs to be acknowledged and should be at all times. Especially when the results can be seen at first-hand.
And having a President in the White House who is not environmentally conscious isn’t helping either.
Yes, it is Hurricane season. And yes, this isn’t the first year with this many incidents. If you want to compare and get an idea of what Climate Change is doing you need to go back more than 13 years. Go back fifty or a hundred. The numbers have increased. It’s a fact. It’s really small but they have. If it’s in correlation with global warming remains to be seen. And when wo do know for sure, it’ll be too late.
The US has the 2nd biggest CO2 emission in the world. 15% of all of CO2 emissions. And flying jets is probably less than 0,00001% part of that. The big problem ist the industry, electricity and transportation. Only 2% of said transportation is because of air traffic. It’s a minor problem which is not so easily solved since we can’t travel far distances by anything but planes. Cars and those who travel distances that can well be reached by foot or bike are the bigger problem.
Jennifer Lawrence lives eco friendly. She drives an electric car. And who says that her jet isn’t fueld with an alternative to kerosene? She speaking up is doing more good than his video ever will.
My point is climate change is real and PewDiePie denying it is really worrisome. I’ve always thought that he was responsible and caring. But obviously I was wrong.
